April 2 - Cracked Egg

 

Today is the day- our start time moves up to 6:30 summer hours today. First up is The Cracked Egg in Glendale. I have not seen Richard and Steve's schedule for the month, but will post it as soon as I get it. 

Here's a group that was popular in the midwest back in the 80's. You may not remember it, but this is what the song was referring to. Rock on...

Mayhem on the Freeway

 

Check this out, apparently the lug nuts sheared off this truck, and launched an SUV into the heavens. 

This is also why you don't dawdle when passing someone- get past them as soon as you can, as you never know who is actually maintaining their vehicle, and who's just driving it until the wheels fall off (literally!).

March 26 - Scramble

 

This Sunday will be the very LAST 7:30 AM start. In April, we move to the summertime hours with a  6:30 start. So enjoy sleeping in this last time. 

Richard and the 4's are hitting the IHOP on Central, so be sure to bring your passports. Mike and the 3's are going to Scramble in Scottsdale this week. 

Here's one of my favorite bands, you rarely run into a group where all five members are great songwriters too. This is a tune that should resonate with all of us these days. Rock on...

March 19 - Zookz

 

Saturday, a few of us will be out riding (and volunteering! Thanks Richard!) the Tour de Cure out in the Southwest Valley. So Sunday, we'll be keeping the ride flat and as short as the loudest complainer allows (and that whiney baby is liable to be me), ending up at Zookz for a tasty breakfast sammich. 

The 4's meanwhile will be heading to Panera Bread at Metro Center. 

My favorite road song, imported from Canada. Rock on...

March 12 - Biscuits Cafe

 

Is winter finally over? I see 80 degrees in the forecast! The 4's will be cycling over to Irma's Kitchen this Sunday, while Mike and the rest of the 3's will be taking in Biscuits Cafe on the north side. 

Rock on...
